  Exemplary embodiments of a virtual router control method, a virtual router control program, and a control device according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

(One Example of Virtual Router Control Method)
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the virtual router control method according to the embodiment. In FIG. 1, a control device 101 is a computer that controls a virtual router. Here, the virtual router is a virtual computer having a function of IP (Internet Protocol) routing.

  The virtual router can be increased / decreased in software, and may be operated on a dedicated physical machine, or may be operated on a general-purpose physical machine as a kind of virtual machine. A virtual machine is a virtual computer that operates in an execution environment constructed by dividing the hardware resources of a physical computer.

  In the present embodiment, the virtual router routes, for example, a packet transmitted and received between virtual machines of a system provided to the user by IaaS based on designated route information. In IaaS, a system is realized by allocating a physical computer, a network, or the like by a module designed by a user and managing computer resources.

  Here, in a data center that provides IaaS to a plurality of users, in order to facilitate the provision and management of the system for each user, the user system can be constructed and managed in units of rack groups. Has been done. A rack group is a set of physical machines grouped for the purpose of unitizing resource configuration, distributed processing of resource management, and fault isolation. While physical networks are densely laid in the rack group, the rack groups are sparsely connected, and communication tends to be concentrated compared to the rack group.

  In a data center, an administrator may move a user's virtual machine running on a physical machine to another physical machine for resource redistribution or maintenance. At this time, if the user's virtual machine is moved beyond the rack group, a situation occurs in which the virtual router exists only in one rack group.

  In this situation, if a failure occurs in the rack group in which the virtual router exists and communication becomes impossible, even if the other rack group is normal, the entire system becomes inoperable and the failure cannot be localized. In this situation, communication cannot be localized, and communication between rack groups that becomes a bottleneck occurs.

  For this reason, it can be considered that the network is segmented for each rack group, and a virtual router is installed in each rack group for routing. However, the user designs the system with the physical arrangement in mind. In addition, when a user's virtual machine is moved beyond a rack group due to the administrator's side such as resource redistribution or maintenance, the virtual router accessed by the virtual machine is changed.

  In this case, the settings of the virtual router, etc. will be changed for the moving virtual machine, but in IaaS assuming that the user can freely use the system, the administrator will change the settings for the virtual machine without permission. Can not do it. In addition, every time a virtual machine is moved, the administrator may ask the user to redesign the system, adjust the schedule, and simultaneously move the virtual machine and change the settings inside the system. It is not a realistic operation.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a virtual router control method that enables movement of virtual machines across rack groups without changing the settings of virtual machines provided to users will be described. Hereinafter, a control processing example of the control device 101 will be described.

  (1) When the virtual machine VM group is distributed and arranged in a plurality of networks NW, the control device 101 activates the virtual router R in which the same address is set in each network NW. Here, the network NW is a communication network constructed by a set of physical servers collected for the purpose of unitizing the resource configuration, distributed processing of resource management, and fault isolation.

  The network NW is, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) such as Ethernet (registered trademark). The network NW may be segmented into a plurality of subnets. The virtual machine VM group is a set of virtual machines managed by a user of IaaS, and is a component that forms a system provided by IaaS.

  In the following description, a system provided to the user by IaaS may be referred to as “virtual system S”.

  The virtual router R is a component that forms the virtual system S, and routes packets transmitted and received between the virtual machines VM in the virtual system S. Further, the address of the virtual router R is an IP address and a MAC (Media Access Control) address of the virtual router R.

  Specifically, for example, when the virtual machine VM is moved from one of the plurality of networks NW to the other network NW, the control device 101 activates the virtual router R in the other network NW. However, when the virtual router R is operating in another network NW, the control device 101 does not activate the virtual router R in the other network NW.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the virtual machines VM1 to VM3 are a group of virtual machines VM that form a virtual system S provided to the user, and are arranged in the network NW1 in the initial state. Here, the virtual machine VM3 among the virtual machines VM1 to VM3 in the network NW1 is moved into the network NW2, and the virtual router R2 having the same address as the virtual router R1 is activated in the network NW2.

  (2) The control device 101 connects the virtual machines VM of the virtual machine VM group and constructs a first virtual network that connects the virtual machines VM in each network NW and the virtual router R. Here, the first virtual network is, for example, a data link layer virtual network. The data link layer is located in the second layer (L2: Layer 2) of the OSI reference model, and defines a communication method between devices directly connected on the network.

  Specifically, for example, the control device 101 forms a tunnel between the virtual machines VM and a virtual machine VM in each network NW, and forms a tunnel between the virtual routers R, so that the first virtual network Build up. A tunnel is a virtual direct connection communication line that connects devices established by tunneling.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the first virtual network is formed by forming a tunnel between the virtual machines VM1 to VM3 and forming a tunnel between the virtual machines VM / virtual router R in each of the networks NW1 and NW2. Is built. However, in the example of FIG. 1, in the initial state, the first virtual network that connects the virtual machines VM1 to VM3 of the virtual machines VM1 to VM3 and connects the virtual machines VM1 to VM3 in the network NW1 to the virtual router R1 is provided. Has been built.

  In this case, the control device 101 re-forms a tunnel between the virtual machine VM3 and the virtual machines VM1 and VM2, and forms a tunnel between the virtual machine VM3 and the virtual router R2 in the network NW2. The first virtual network may be reconstructed. At this time, the tunnel formed between the virtual machine VM3 and the virtual router R1 in the network NW1 is deleted (removed).

  (3) The control device 101 constructs a second virtual network that connects between the virtual routers R activated in each network NW. Here, the second virtual network is, for example, a virtual network in the network layer. The network layer is located in the third layer (L3: Layer 3) of the OSI reference model, and defines a communication method for performing communication between networks connected using a protocol below the data link layer. .

  Specifically, for example, the control apparatus 101 constructs a second virtual network by forming a tunnel between the virtual routers R. In the example of FIG. 1, a second virtual network is constructed by forming a tunnel between the virtual routers R1 and R2.

  (4) The control device 101 creates a routing table corresponding to each virtual router R activated in each network NW, and sets it in each virtual router R. Here, the route table is information that stores route information related to the destination of a packet, that is, a so-called routing table.

  Specifically, for example, first, regarding the virtual router R activated in each network NW, the control device 101 determines whether the virtual machine VM is in the same network NW as the virtual router R for each virtual machine VM in the virtual machine VM group. Determine whether or not. Here, in the same network NW, the control device 101 associates the address of the first virtual network of the virtual router R with the address of the first virtual network of the virtual machine VM.

  On the other hand, when not in the same network NW, the address of the second virtual network of another virtual router R of the same network NW as the virtual machine VM is associated with the address of the first virtual network of the virtual machine VM. Thereby, the routing table T corresponding to the virtual router R activated in each network NW can be created. In the example of FIG. 1, route tables T1 and T2 corresponding to the virtual routers R1 and R2 are created and set in the virtual routers R1 and R2, respectively.

  Thus, according to the control apparatus 101, when the virtual machine VM group is distributed and arranged in a plurality of networks NW, the virtual router R in which the same address is set in each network NW can be activated. Further, according to the control device 101, a first virtual network that connects the virtual machines VM and connects the virtual machine VM of each network NW and the virtual router R is constructed, and the virtual router R that is activated in each network NW A second virtual network that connects them can be constructed. Then, according to the control device 101, the route table T corresponding to the virtual router R activated in each network NW can be created and set in the virtual router R.

  Accordingly, the virtual machine VM can be easily moved with the change of the connection destination virtual router R without changing the setting of the virtual machine VM provided to the user. As a result, the user's virtual machine VM can be moved across rack groups for the convenience of the administrator, such as resource redistribution within the data center and physical machine maintenance, and data center resource management and operation management are easy. Can be achieved. Further, since routing between virtual machines VM in the same network NW is performed by the virtual router R in the same network NW, failure and communication localization can be realized.

(System configuration example of system 200)
Next, a system configuration example of the system 200 according to the embodiment will be described. Here, a case where the control apparatus 101 shown in FIG. 1 is applied to a module for managing computer resources in the system 200 will be described as an example. In the following description, the “network NW” described above may be referred to as a “rack group rc”.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a system configuration example of the system 200. In FIG. 2, a system 200 includes a control device 101, an administrator terminal 201, a user terminal 202, and a plurality of physical machines PM. In the system 200, the control device 101, the administrator terminal 201, the user terminal 202, and the plurality of physical machines PM are connected by a wired or wireless network 210. The network 210 is, for example, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), or the Internet.

  Here, the system 200 is an IaaS system that provides the user with the infrastructure necessary for the operation of the computer system. The control device 101 has a function of managing computer resources such as a physical machine PM, a physical network, and a physical storage in the system 200. The administrator terminal 201 is a computer used by the administrator of the system 200. The user terminal 202 is a computer used by a user of the system 200.

  The physical machine PM is a computer resource in the system 200 and is a computer capable of executing a plurality of different OSs by virtualizing the hardware resources of its own device. The hardware resources of the own apparatus are, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, an I / F (Interface), and the like of the physical machine PM.

  Specifically, for example, the physical machine PM can operate the OS by a virtual machine VM that operates in an execution environment constructed by dividing the hardware resources of the own machine. The entity of the virtual machine VM includes, for example, information such as software such as a program or OS, variables given to the software, and hardware resources for executing the software. The plurality of physical machines PM are grouped in units of several tens to several hundreds and installed in one rack group rc.

  In the system 200, the administrator can make an arrangement change, start, stop request, etc. of the virtual machine VM operating on the physical machine PM by accessing the control apparatus 101 using the administrator terminal 201. Further, the administrator can confirm the deployment state of the virtual machine VM by accessing the control device 101 using the administrator terminal 201.

  Further, the user can register the design information of the virtual system S by accessing the control device 101 using the user terminal 202. The design information of the virtual system S is information indicating the virtual machine VM forming the virtual system S, the number of virtual machines VM, the network configuration, and the like. Further, the user can make a request for deployment, change, withdrawal, etc. of the virtual system S by accessing the control device 101 using the user terminal 202.

  For example, the control device 101 allocates a physical computer, a network, or the like to the virtual system S in response to a request to deploy the virtual system S. Specifically, for example, based on the design information of the virtual system S, the control device 101 creates an arrangement plan such as which physical machine PM the virtual machine VM forming the virtual system S is to be arranged. Based on the created arrangement plan, the control device 101 activates the virtual machine VM and the virtual router R on the physical machine PM, and constructs a virtual network that connects the virtual machines VM on the physical machine PM. .

  Further, the control device 101 controls, for example, the movement, start, stop, etc. of the virtual machine VM on the physical machine PM in response to a change in the placement, start, stop, etc. of the virtual machine VM, Controls starting, stopping, etc. of the virtual router R. In the system 200, the virtual router R that forms the virtual system S is the responsibility range of the administrator side, and provides a transfer service according to a routing control specification designated by the user.

(Hardware configuration example of the control device 101)
FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of the control device 101. In FIG. 3, the control device 101 includes a CPU 301, a memory 302, an I / F (Interface) 303, a disk drive 304, and a disk 305. Each component is connected by a bus 300.

  Here, the CPU 301 governs overall control of the control device 101. The memory 302 includes, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a flash ROM. Specifically, for example, a flash ROM or ROM stores various programs, and a RAM is used as a work area for the CPU 301. The program stored in the memory 302 is loaded into the CPU 301 to cause the CPU 301 to execute the coded process.

  The I / F 303 is connected to the network 210 through a communication line, and is connected to another computer via the network 210. The I / F 303 controls an internal interface with the network 210 and controls input / output of data from other computers. For example, a modem or a LAN adapter may be employed as the I / F 303.

  The disk drive 304 controls reading / writing of data with respect to the disk 305 according to the control of the CPU 301. The disk 305 stores data written under the control of the disk drive 304. Examples of the disk 305 include a magnetic disk and an optical disk.

  The control device 101 may include, for example, an SSD (Solid State Drive), a keyboard, a mouse, and a display in addition to the above-described components. Further, the administrator terminal 201, the user terminal 202, and the physical machine PM illustrated in FIG. 2 can also be realized by a hardware configuration example similar to the control device 101 described above.

(System configuration example of virtual system S)
Next, a system configuration example of the virtual system S provided to the user will be described.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a system configuration example of the virtual system S. In FIG. 4, the virtual system S includes virtual machines VM1 to VM6 and a virtual router R1A. In the virtual system S, the virtual machines VM1 to VM4 and the virtual router R1A are connected by a virtual network α. The virtual machines VM5 and VM6 and the virtual router R1A are connected by a virtual network β.

  The IP address range of the virtual network α is “192.168.10.0/24”. The IP address range of the virtual network β is “192.168.20.0/24”. The IP address of the interface connected to the virtual network α of the virtual router R1A is “192.168.10.1”. The IP address of the interface connected to the virtual network β of the virtual router R1A is “192.168.20.1”.

  Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 8, in the initial state of the virtual system S, the virtual machines VM1 to VM6 and the virtual router R1A are arranged in the rack group A. That is, in the initial state of the virtual system S, the virtual machines VM1 to VM6 and the virtual router R1A each operate on any physical machine PM included in the rack group A.

(Storage contents of the virtual machine management table 500)
Next, the storage contents of the virtual machine management table 500 used by the control apparatus 101 will be described. The virtual machine management table 500 is information for managing the virtual machines VM forming the virtual system S provided to the user. The virtual machine management table 500 is realized by a storage device such as the memory 302 and the disk 305 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents stored in the virtual machine management table 500. 5, the virtual machine management table 500 stores virtual machine information (for example, virtual machine information 501 to 506) for each virtual machine VM forming the virtual system S. Specifically, the virtual machine information 501 to 506 includes VM names, virtual system information, and physical system information of the virtual machines VM1 to VM6.

  Here, the VM name is an identifier of the virtual machine VM. The virtual system information includes a connection virtual network and a virtual network IP address. The connection virtual network is a virtual network to which the virtual machine VM is connected. The virtual network IP address is the IP address of the connection interface to the connection virtual network of the virtual machine VM, that is, the IP address of the virtual machine VM in the connection virtual network. The physical system information includes a rack group name and a physical network IP address. The rack group name is an identifier of the rack group in which the virtual machine VM is arranged. The physical network IP address is the IP address of the physical machine PM on which the virtual machine VM operates.

  For example, the virtual machine information 501 includes the virtual network IP address “192.168.10.11” of the virtual machine VM1 connected to the virtual network α and the physical network of the physical machine PM in the rack group A on which the virtual machine VM1 operates. Indicates IP address "10.100.67"

(Storage contents of virtual router management table 600)
Next, the contents stored in the virtual router management table 600 used by the control apparatus 101 will be described. The virtual router management table 600 is information for managing the virtual router R included in the virtual system S provided to the user. The virtual router management table 600 is realized by a storage device such as the memory 302 and the disk 305 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents stored in the virtual router management table 600. In FIG. 6, the virtual router management table 600 has logical router information 610 and virtual router information 620. The logical router information 610 has fields of a connection virtual network and a virtual network IP address. By setting information in each field, virtual network information (for example, virtual network information 611 and 612) is stored as a record.

  Here, the logical router is one in which the virtual router R included in the virtual system S is logically one router. The connection virtual network is a virtual network to which the logical router is connected. The virtual network IP address is the IP address of the connection interface to the connection virtual network of the logical router (virtual router R). For example, the virtual network information 611 indicates the virtual network IP address “192.168.10.1” of the interface connected to the virtual network α of the logical router R1.

  The virtual router information 620 includes fields of an instance name, a rack group name, a router cooperation network IP address, and a physical network IP address. By setting information in each field, instance information (for example, instance information 621) is recorded. Remember as. Here, the instance name is an identifier of the virtual router R. The rack group name is an identifier of the rack group rc in which the virtual router R is arranged.

  The router cooperation network address is an IP address of a connection interface of the virtual router R to the virtual network connecting the virtual routers R. The IP address for the router cooperation network may be prepared by the administrator, or may be designated by the user. The physical network IP address is the IP address of the physical machine PM on which the virtual router R operates. For example, the instance information 621 indicates the router cooperation network IP address “172.31.10.1” and the physical network IP address “10.1000.1.35” of the virtual router R1A arranged in the rack group A.

(Functional configuration example of the control device 101)
FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the control device 101. In FIG. 7, the control device 101 includes a reception unit 701, an activation unit 702, a construction unit 703, a creation unit 704, and a setting unit 705. The receiving unit 701 to the setting unit 705 are functions as control units. Specifically, for example, by causing the CPU 301 to execute a program stored in a storage device such as the memory 302 and the disk 305 illustrated in FIG. Alternatively, the function is realized by the I / F 303. The processing result of each functional unit is stored in a storage device such as the memory 302 and the disk 305, for example.

  The accepting unit 701 has a function of accepting an arrangement change request for any virtual machine VM in the virtual machine VM group. Here, the virtual machine group VM is a set of virtual machines VM forming the virtual system S provided to the user. An arrangement change request is a request for moving a virtual machine VM operating on a certain physical machine PM to another physical machine PM.

  The placement change request includes, for example, the VM name of the virtual machine VM to be moved, the rack group name of the destination rack group rc, the physical network IP address of the physical machine PM, and the like. Specifically, for example, the accepting unit 701 receives virtual operation input from the administrator terminal 201 or performs virtual operation by an administrator operation input using a keyboard or mouse (not illustrated) of the management apparatus 101. A request to change the arrangement of the machine VM is received.

  The activation unit 702 has a function of activating the virtual machine VM. Specifically, for example, the activation unit 702 moves the virtual machine VM in response to the reception unit 701 receiving a request to change the placement of the virtual machine VM. Here, the movement of the virtual machine VM means that an OS or application running on a certain virtual machine VM is migrated to another virtual machine VM.

  More specifically, for example, the activation unit 702 moves the migration target virtual machine VM to another physical machine PM by live migration. Live migration refers to moving a virtual machine VM operating on a physical machine PM to another physical machine PM almost without stopping. According to live migration, an OS or application being executed by a virtual machine VM on a physical machine PM can be migrated to another physical machine PM in a very short stop time.

  When the virtual machine M is moved, the virtual machine information of the moved virtual machine VM in the virtual machine management table 500 is updated. An example of updating the virtual machine management table 500 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 9, 11, and 13.

  The activation unit 702 has a function of activating the virtual router R. Specifically, for example, the activation unit 702 activates the virtual router R in the destination rack group rc in response to the reception unit 701 receiving a virtual machine VM placement change request. More specifically, for example, first, the activation unit 702 refers to the virtual router management table 600 illustrated in FIG. 6 and determines whether or not the virtual router R is arranged in the destination rack group rc. .

  Here, when the virtual router R is not arranged in the destination rack group rc, the activation unit 702 sets the same virtual network IP address and MAC address as the virtual router R of the source rack group rc. R is activated to the destination rack group rc. On the other hand, when the virtual router R is already arranged in the destination rack group rc, the activation unit 702 does not activate the virtual router R.

  When the virtual router R is activated, the instance information of the activated virtual router R is registered in the virtual router management table 600. An example of updating the virtual router management table 600 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In addition, the reception unit 701 has a function of receiving a startup request for any virtual machine VM in the virtual machine VM group. Here, the activation request is a request for activating the virtual machine VM on a certain physical machine PM. The activation request includes, for example, the VM name of the virtual machine VM to be activated, the rack group name of the activation-destination rack group rc, the physical network IP address of the physical machine PM, and the like.

  Specifically, for example, the accepting unit 701 receives virtual operation input from the administrator terminal 201 or performs virtual operation by an administrator operation input using a keyboard or mouse (not illustrated) of the management apparatus 101. A startup request for the machine VM is received. The activation request is made, for example, when a new virtual machine VM is added to the virtual system S.

  In addition, the activation unit 702 activates the virtual machine VM on the activation-destination physical machine PM in response to the reception unit 701 receiving an activation request for the virtual machine VM. When the virtual machine VM is activated, virtual machine information of the activated virtual machine VM is registered in the virtual machine management table 500.

  Further, the activation unit 702 activates the virtual router R in the activation-destination rack group rc in response to the reception unit 701 receiving an activation request for the virtual machine VM. Specifically, for example, first, the activation unit 702 refers to the virtual router management table 600 and determines whether or not the virtual router R is arranged in the activation-destination rack group rc.

  Here, when the virtual router R is not arranged in the activation-destination rack group rc, the activation unit 702 sets the same virtual network IP address and MAC address as the virtual router R of the other rack group rc. Are activated to the rack group rc of the activation destination. On the other hand, if the virtual router R has already been placed in the activation-destination rack group rc, the activation unit 702 does not activate the virtual router R.

  The construction unit 703 has a function of constructing a virtual network that connects the virtual machines VM in the rack group rc and connects the virtual machines VM in the rack group rc while connecting the virtual machines VM of the virtual machine VM group. Specifically, for example, the construction unit 703 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 and forms a tunnel between the virtual machines VM. Also, the construction unit 703 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600 to form a tunnel between the virtual machine VM and the virtual router R in each rack group rc. Thereby, the construction unit 703 constructs a data link layer virtual network. In the following description, the virtual network of the data link layer may be expressed as “L2 virtual network”.

  The construction unit 703 has a function of constructing a virtual network that connects the virtual routers R activated to each rack group rc. Specifically, for example, the construction unit 703 constructs a virtual network in the network layer by referring to the virtual router management table 600 and forming a tunnel between the activated virtual routers R in each rack group rc. In the following description, the virtual network in the network layer may be expressed as “L3 virtual network”.

  The specific processing contents of the construction unit 703 that forms a tunnel between virtual machines VM and the like will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The creation unit 704 has a function of creating a routing table T corresponding to the virtual router R activated in each rack group rc. Specifically, for example, first, for the virtual router R activated in each rack group rc, the creation unit 704 has a virtual machine VM in the same rack group as the virtual router R for each virtual machine VM in the virtual machine VM group. It is determined whether or not.

  Here, in the same rack group, the creation unit 704 associates the virtual network IP address of the L2 virtual network of the virtual router R with the virtual network IP address of the L2 virtual network of the virtual machine VM. On the other hand, when not in the same rack group, the creation unit 704 uses the router cooperation network IP address of the L3 virtual network of the other virtual router R of the same rack group as the virtual machine VM, and the virtual network IP of the L2 virtual network of the virtual machine VM. Associate with an address. Thereby, the routing table T corresponding to the virtual router R activated in each rack group rc can be created. An example of creating the routing table T corresponding to the virtual router R will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  The setting unit 705 has a function of setting the routing table T corresponding to the virtual router R created by the creating unit 704 to the virtual router R. Specifically, for example, the setting unit 705 sets the routing table T in each virtual router R by transmitting the routing table T corresponding to each virtual router R to each virtual router R.

  The receiving unit 701 has a function of receiving a stop request for any virtual machine VM in the virtual machine VM group. Here, the stop request is a request for stopping a virtual machine VM operating on a certain physical machine PM. The stop request includes, for example, the VM name of the virtual machine VM to be stopped, the rack group name of the rack group rc to be stopped, the physical network IP address of the physical machine PM, and the like.

  Specifically, for example, the accepting unit 701 receives virtual operation input from the administrator terminal 201 or performs virtual operation by an administrator operation input using a keyboard or mouse (not illustrated) of the management apparatus 101. A stop request for the machine VM is accepted.

  Further, the activation unit 702 stops the virtual machine VM to be stopped in response to the reception unit 701 receiving a request to stop the virtual machine VM. When the virtual machine M is stopped, the virtual machine information of the stopped virtual machine VM is deleted from the virtual machine management table 500.

  The activation unit 702 has a function of stopping the virtual router R. Specifically, for example, the activation unit 702 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 in response to the reception unit 701 receiving a request to stop the virtual machine VM, and adds a stop target to the stop-destination rack group rc. It is determined whether or not another virtual machine VM different from the virtual machine VM is arranged.

  If no other virtual router R is arranged in the stop-destination rack group rc, the activation unit 702 stops the virtual router R of the stop-destination rack group rc. On the other hand, when another virtual machine VM is arranged in the stop-destination rack group rc, the activation unit 702 does not stop the virtual router R. When the virtual router R is stopped, the instance information of the stopped virtual router R is deleted from the virtual router management table 600.

  Further, the activation unit 702 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 in response to the reception unit 701 receiving a request to change the placement of the virtual machine VM, and moves the virtual machine VM to be moved to the source rack group rc. It is determined whether another virtual machine VM different from the above is arranged. If no other virtual router R is arranged in the source rack group rc, the activation unit 702 stops the virtual router R in the source rack group rc. On the other hand, when another virtual machine VM is arranged in the source rack group rc, the activation unit 702 does not stop the virtual router R.

(Example of state transition of virtual system S)
Next, an example of state transition of the virtual system S will be described. Here, an example of state transition of the virtual system S including the virtual machines VM1 to VM6 and the virtual router R1A will be described (see, for example, FIGS. 5 and 6).

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram (part 1) of an example of state transition of the virtual system S. In FIG. 8, in the state 0 (initial state), the virtual system S is arranged in the rack group A. In addition, an L2 virtual network α that connects the virtual machines VM1 to VM4 of the virtual machines VM1 to VM4 and connects the virtual machines VM1 to VM4 in the rack group A and the virtual router R1A is constructed. Further, an L2 virtual network β that connects the virtual machines VM5 and VM6 and connects the virtual machines VM5 and VM6 in the rack group A and the virtual router R1A is constructed.

<State 0⇒State 1>
Here, it is assumed that the virtual machine VM4 is moved to the rack group B. In this case, with the movement of the virtual machine VM4, the virtual router R1B is activated in the rack group B, and the virtual system S transitions from the state 0 to the state 1.

  In the state 1, the virtual machines VM1 to VM3, VM5, VM6 and the virtual router R1A are arranged in the rack group A, and the virtual machine VM4 and the virtual router R1B are arranged in the rack group B. As a result, the virtual machines VM1 to VM4 are connected to each other, the virtual machines VM1 to VM3 in the rack group A are connected to the virtual router R1A, and the virtual machines VM4 and virtual router R1B in the rack group B are connected. L2 virtual network α is established. In addition, a router cooperation network that connects the virtual routers R1A and R1B activated in the rack groups A and B is constructed. This router cooperation network is an L3 virtual network. The L2 virtual network β is the same as in the state 0.

<Example of Update of Virtual Machine Management Table 500 and Virtual Router Management Table 600 (Part 1)>
Here, an example of updating the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600 when the virtual system S transitions from the state 0 to the state 1 will be described.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram (part 1) illustrating an example of updating the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600. In FIG. 9, as a result of the movement of the virtual machine VM4 from the rack group A to the rack group B, the virtual machine information 504 in the virtual machine management table 500 is updated. Specifically, the rack group name is updated to the rack group name “B” of the migration destination rack group B, and the physical network IP address of the virtual machine VM4 is changed to the IP address “10.100.2 of the migration destination physical machine PM. .72 ".

  Further, as a result of the movement of the virtual machine VM4 from the rack group A to the rack group B, the instance information 622 of the virtual router R1B is newly registered in the virtual router information 620 of the virtual router management table 600. The instance information 622 indicates the router cooperation network IP address “172.31.10.2” and the physical network IP address “10.1000.2.22” of the virtual router R1B arranged in the rack group B.

<State 1⇒State 2>
Next, it is assumed that the virtual machine VM6 is moved to the rack group B. In this case, as a result of the virtual machine VM6 being moved to the rack group B, the virtual system S transitions from the state 1 to the state 2. At this time, since the virtual router R1B is already arranged in the rack group B, the new virtual router R is not activated in the rack group B as the virtual machine VM6 moves.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram (part 2) of the state transition example of the virtual system S. In FIG. 10, in the state 2, the virtual machines VM1 to VM3, VM5 and the virtual router R1A are arranged in the rack group A, and the virtual machines VM4, VM6 and the virtual router R1B are arranged in the rack group B. As a result, the L2 virtual network β that connects the virtual machines VM5 and VM6 and connects the virtual machine VM6 in the rack group B and the virtual router R1B is constructed. The router cooperation network that connects the virtual routers R1A and R1B is the same as in the state 1. The L2 virtual network α is the same as in the state 1.

<Example of Update of Virtual Machine Management Table 500 and Virtual Router Management Table 600 (Part 2)>
Here, an example of updating the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600 when the virtual system S transitions from the state 1 to the state 2 will be described.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram (part 2) of an update example of the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600. In FIG. 11, as a result of the movement of the virtual machine VM6 from the rack group A to the rack group B, the virtual machine information 506 in the virtual machine management table 500 is updated. Specifically, the rack group name is updated to the rack group name “B” of the migration destination rack group B, and the physical network IP address of the virtual machine VM6 is changed to the IP address “10.100.2 of the migration destination physical machine PM. .38 ". The contents stored in the virtual router management table 600 do not change because the virtual router R1B has already been placed in the rack group B.

<State 2⇒State 3>
Next, it is assumed that the virtual machine VM3 is moved to the rack group B. In this case, as a result of the virtual machine VM3 being moved to the rack group B, the virtual system S changes from the state 2 to the state 3. At this time, since the virtual router R1B has already been arranged in the rack group B, a new virtual router R is not activated in the rack group B as the virtual machine VM3 moves.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram (part 3) of the state transition example of the virtual system S. In FIG. 12, in the state 3, the virtual machines VM1, VM2, VM5 and the virtual router R1A are arranged in the rack group A, and the virtual machines VM3, VM4, VM6 and the virtual router R1B are arranged in the rack group B.

  As a result, the virtual machines VM1 to VM4 are connected between the virtual machines VM1, the virtual machines VM1 and VM2 in the rack group A and the virtual router R1A are connected, and the virtual machines VM3 and VM4 in the rack group B are connected. An L2 virtual network α that connects the virtual router R1B is constructed. The router cooperation network that connects the virtual routers R1A and R1B is the same as in the state 2. The L2 virtual network β is the same as in the state 2.

<Example of Update of Virtual Machine Management Table 500 and Virtual Router Management Table 600 (No. 3)>
Here, an update example of the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600 when the virtual system S transitions from the state 2 to the state 3 will be described.

  FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram (part 3) of an update example of the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600. In FIG. 13, as a result of the movement of the virtual machine VM3 from the rack group A to the rack group B, the virtual machine information 503 in the virtual machine management table 500 is updated. Specifically, the rack group name is updated to the rack group name “B” of the migration destination rack group B, and the physical network IP address of the virtual machine VM3 is changed to the IP address “10.100.2 of the migration destination physical machine PM. .87 ". The contents stored in the virtual router management table 600 do not change because the virtual router R1B has already been placed in the rack group B.

(Creation example of routing table T)
Next, an example of creating the routing table T corresponding to each virtual router R will be described. Here, an example of creating the routing table T corresponding to the virtual router R1A of the rack group A will be described based on the storage contents of the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram (part 1) of a creation example of the route table T. In FIG. 14, the route table T1A has fields of an IP address, a netmask, and a next hop. By setting information in each field, route information for each destination is stored as a record.

  Here, the IP address is the virtual network IP address of the virtual machine VM that is the destination of the packet. The net mask is a value for identifying a network address and a host address among IP addresses. The next hop is a destination IP address to which a packet is transferred next.

  First, the creation unit 704 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 and sets the virtual network IP addresses of the virtual machines VM1 to VM6 in the IP address field of the path table T1A. Further, the creation unit 704 sets “/ 32” indicating 32 bits in the net mask field of the route table T1A (see (14-1) in FIG. 14).

  Next, the creation unit 704 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600, and sets the IP address of the destination to which the next packet is transferred in the next hop field of the routing table T1A (in FIG. 14). (Refer to (14-2)).

  Here, taking the virtual machine VM1 (destination) as an example, the creation unit 704 determines whether or not the rack group A of the virtual machine VM1 matches the rack group A of the virtual router R1A. Here, the rack group A of the virtual machine VM1 matches the rack group A of the virtual router R1A. In this case, the creation unit 704 sets the virtual network IP address “192.168.10.1” of the connection interface of the virtual router R1A to the virtual network α including the virtual machine VM1 in the next hop field.

  Taking the virtual machine VM3 (destination) as an example, the creation unit 704 determines whether or not the rack group B of the virtual machine VM3 matches the rack group A of the virtual router R1A. Here, the rack group B of the virtual machine VM3 and the rack group A of the virtual router R1A do not match. In this case, the creation unit 704 sets the router cooperation network IP address “172.31.10.2” of the virtual router R1B of the rack group B in which the virtual machine VM3 is arranged in the next hop field.

  Taking the virtual machine VM5 (destination) as an example, the creation unit 704 determines whether or not the rack group A of the virtual machine VM5 matches the rack group A of the virtual router R1A. Here, the rack group A of the virtual machine VM5 matches the rack group A of the virtual router R1A. In this case, the creation unit 704 sets the virtual network IP address “192.168.20.1” of the connection interface of the virtual router R1A to the virtual network β including the virtual machine VM5 in the next hop field.

  Next, an example of creating the routing table T corresponding to the virtual router R1B of the rack group B will be described based on the storage contents of the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram (part 2) of a creation example of the route table T. In FIG. 15, first, the creation unit 704 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 and sets the virtual network IP addresses of the virtual machines VM1 to VM6 in the IP address field of the path table T1B. Also, the creation unit 704 sets “/ 32” indicating 32 bits in the netmask field of the route table T1B (see (15-1) in FIG. 15).

  Next, the creation unit 704 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600, and sets the IP address of the destination to which the next packet is transferred in the next hop field of the routing table T1B (in FIG. 15). (See (15-2)).

  Here, taking the virtual machine VM1 (destination) as an example, the creation unit 704 determines whether or not the rack group A of the virtual machine VM1 and the rack group B of the virtual router R1B match. Here, the rack group A of the virtual machine VM1 does not match the rack group B of the virtual router R1B. In this case, the creation unit 704 sets the router cooperation network IP address “172.31.10.1” of the virtual router R1A of the rack group A in which the virtual machine VM1 is arranged in the next hop field.

  Taking the virtual machine VM3 (destination) as an example, the creation unit 704 determines whether or not the rack group B of the virtual machine VM3 matches the rack group B of the virtual router R1B. Here, the rack group B of the virtual machine VM3 matches the rack group B of the virtual router R1B. In this case, the creation unit 704 sets the virtual network IP address “192.168.10.1” of the connection interface of the virtual router R1B to the virtual network α including the virtual machine VM3 in the next hop field.

  Taking the virtual machine VM6 (destination) as an example, the creation unit 704 determines whether or not the rack group B of the virtual machine VM6 matches the rack group B of the virtual router R1B. Here, the rack group B of the virtual machine VM6 matches the rack group B of the virtual router R1B. In this case, the creation unit 704 sets the virtual network IP address “192.168.20.1” of the connection interface of the virtual router R1B to the virtual network β including the virtual machine VM6 in the next hop field.

  According to the routing tables T1A and T1B described above, the routing between the virtual machines VM in the same rack group rc can be performed by the virtual router R in the same rack group rc. In addition, the packet transfer beyond the rack group rc is transferred from the virtual machine VM to the virtual router R in the rack group rc, and then passes through the router cooperation network (L3 virtual network) between the virtual routers R. This can be realized by passing to the virtual router R of the rack group rc in which the machine VM exists.

(Example of L2 virtual network construction)
Next, a construction example of the L2 virtual network will be described. Here, an example in which a tunnel between virtual machines VM is formed will be described as an example of constructing an L2 virtual network.

  FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a construction example of the L2 virtual network. Here, a construction example of an L2 virtual network based on the virtual machine management table 1600 will be described. However, in FIG. 16, a part of the virtual machine management table 1600 is extracted and displayed.

  Specifically, for example, first, the construction unit 703 refers to the virtual machine management table 1600 to form a tunnel between the virtual machines VM. The tunnel between each virtual machine VM has a full mesh configuration. Then, the construction unit 703 constructs an L2 virtual network by connecting the end points of each tunnel to the virtual bridge vbr on the physical machine PM.

  The virtual bridge vbr transfers the packet coming from the tunnel to the virtual machine VM and does not transfer it to the tunnel. Further, the virtual bridge vbr communicates by encapsulating packets between the virtual bridges vbr, and releases the encapsulation when the packets are transferred to the virtual machine VM. Encapsulation is defined by integrating data and procedures for manipulating it and defining them as “objects”, and hiding the detailed specifications and structures in the objects from the outside.

  Thereby, the L2 virtual network can be constructed by the tunnel between the virtual bridge vbr operating on the physical machine PM and the virtual machine VM. Further, packet transfer in the tunnel network stops at one link, and a loop can be avoided.

(Distributed placement example of virtual machine VM group in 3 rack group)
In the above description, the virtual machine VM group is distributed in two rack groups rc. However, the virtual machine VM group may be distributed in three or more rack groups rc.

  FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a distributed arrangement of virtual machine VM groups in a three rack group. In FIG. 17, virtual machines VM1, VM2, VM6 and virtual router R1A are arranged in rack group A, virtual machines VM3, VM7 and virtual router R1B are arranged in rack group B, virtual machines VM4, VM5, VM8 and virtual router R1C is arranged in the rack group C.

  As a result, the virtual machines VM1 to VM5 are connected to each other, the virtual machines VM1 and VM2 in the rack group A are connected to the virtual router R1A, and the virtual machines VM3 and virtual router R1B in the rack group B are connected. And an L2 virtual network α that connects the virtual machines VM4 and VM5 in the rack group C and the virtual router R1C is constructed.

  Further, the virtual machines VM6 to VM8 are connected to each other, the virtual machine VM6 in the rack group A and the virtual router R1A are connected, and the virtual machine VM7 and the virtual router R1B in the rack group B are connected. The L2 virtual network β connecting the virtual machine VM8 in the rack group C and the virtual router R1C is constructed. In addition, a router cooperation network that connects the virtual routers R1A, R1B, and R1C activated to the rack groups A, B, and C is constructed.

(First control processing procedure of the control device 101)
Next, the first control processing procedure of the control apparatus 101 will be described. The first control process is a control process of the control apparatus 101 that is executed when the virtual machine VM is moved.

  18 and 19 are flowcharts illustrating an example of a first control processing procedure of the control apparatus 101. In the flowchart of FIG. 18, first, the control device 101 determines whether or not an arrangement change request for any virtual machine VM in the virtual machine VM group has been received (step S1801). Here, the control apparatus 101 waits to receive a request to change the arrangement of the virtual machine VM (step S1801: No).

  If the control apparatus 101 receives a request to change the arrangement of the virtual machine VM (step S1801: Yes), the control apparatus 101 moves the virtual machine VM (step S1802). Then, the control device 101 executes a virtual network update process between the virtual machines VM (step S1803). A specific processing procedure of the virtual network update processing between the virtual machines VM will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the control device 101 determines whether or not the virtual machine VM has moved to another rack group (step S1804). Here, when it moves to another rack group (step S1804: Yes), the control apparatus 101 performs the virtual network removal process between virtual machine VM / virtual router R (step S1805). A specific processing procedure of the virtual network removal processing between the virtual machine VM / virtual router R will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the control device 101 determines whether or not another virtual machine VM different from the virtual machine VM to be moved is connected to the virtual router R of the source rack group rc (step S1806). If another virtual machine VM is connected (step S1806: YES), the control apparatus 101 proceeds to step S1901 shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the other virtual machine VM is not connected (step S1806: No), the control apparatus 101 performs a router cooperation network removal process (step S1807). A specific processing procedure of the router cooperation network removal processing will be described later with reference to FIG. The control apparatus 101 stops the virtual router R of the source rack group rc (step S1808), and proceeds to step S1901 shown in FIG.

  In step S1804, if the control device 101 has not moved to another rack group (step S1804: No), the control device 101 executes a virtual network update process between the virtual machine VM and the virtual router R (step S1809), A series of processes according to the flowchart ends. A specific processing procedure of the virtual network update processing between the virtual machine VM / virtual router R will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 19, first, the control device 101 refers to the virtual router management table 600 to determine whether or not the virtual router R exists in the destination rack group rc (step S1901). Here, when the virtual router R exists (step S1901: Yes), the control apparatus 101 moves to step S1904.

  On the other hand, when the virtual router R does not exist (step S1901: NO), the control device 101 activates the virtual router R in the destination rack group rc (step S1902). Then, the control device 101 executes router cooperation network construction processing (step S1903). A specific processing procedure of the router cooperation network construction processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the control device 101 executes a virtual network construction process between the virtual machine VM / virtual router R (step S1904). A specific processing procedure of the virtual network construction processing between the virtual machine VM / virtual router R will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Then, the control device 101 executes a route table setting process for setting the route table T in the virtual router R (step S1905), and ends a series of processes according to this flowchart. A specific processing procedure of the routing table setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Thereby, along with the movement of the virtual machine VM, the L2 virtual network and the L3 virtual network can be constructed or reconstructed, and the routing table T can be set in each virtual router R.

<Virtual network update processing procedure between virtual machines VM>
Next, a specific processing procedure of the virtual network update processing between the virtual machines VM in step S1803 illustrated in FIG. 18 will be described. In the following description, a virtual machine VM to be moved may be referred to as “moving machine” and another virtual machine VM different from the moving machine may be referred to as “existing machine”.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a specific processing procedure of virtual network update processing between virtual machines VM. In the flowchart of FIG. 20, first, the control apparatus 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 to identify the physical network IP address p of the mobile machine (step S2001).

  Next, the control device 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500, selects an existing machine (step S2002), and specifies the physical network IP address pk of the existing machine (step S2003). Then, the control device 101 forms a tunnel between the physical network IP addresses p and pk (step S2004).

  Next, the control apparatus 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 to determine whether there is an unselected existing machine that has not been selected (step S2005). If there is an unselected existing machine (step S2005: Yes), the control device 101 returns to step S2002 and selects an unselected existing machine.

  On the other hand, when there is no unselected existing machine (step S2005: No), the control apparatus 101 returns to the step that called the virtual network update process between the virtual machines VM. Thereby, the L2 virtual network between the virtual machines VM can be reconstructed along with the movement of the virtual machine VM.

<Virtual Network Removal Processing Procedure Between Virtual Machine VM / Virtual Router R>
Next, a specific processing procedure of the virtual network removal processing between the virtual machine VM / virtual router R in step S1805 shown in FIG. 18 will be described.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a specific processing procedure of the virtual network removal processing between the virtual machine VM and the virtual router R. In the flowchart of FIG. 21, first, the control device 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 to identify the physical network IP address p of the mobile machine (step S2101).

  Next, the control device 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 and the virtual router management table 600 to identify the physical network IP address r of the virtual router R of the source rack group rc to which the mobile machine was connected. (Step S2102).

  Then, the control device 101 removes (deletes) the tunnel between the physical network IP addresses p and r (step S2103), and returns to the step of calling the virtual network removal processing between the virtual machine VM / virtual router R. As a result, the tunnel connecting the virtual machine VM / virtual router R can be removed along with the movement of the virtual machine VM.

<Router cooperation network removal processing procedure>
Next, a specific processing procedure of the router cooperation network removal processing in step S1807 shown in FIG. 18 will be described. In the following description, the virtual router R to be stopped may be referred to as “removal router”.

Then, the control device 101 forms a tunnel between the physical network IP addresses p and pk (step S2904).

  Next, the control apparatus 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 to determine whether there is an unselected existing machine that has not been selected (step S2905). If there is an unselected existing machine (step S2905: YES), the control device 101 returns to step S2902 and selects an unselected existing machine.

  On the other hand, when there is no unselected existing machine (step S2905: No), the control apparatus 101 returns to the step that called the virtual network construction process between the virtual machines VM. Thereby, the L2 virtual network between the virtual machines VM can be reconstructed with the addition of the virtual machines VM.

In the flowchart of FIG. 30, first, the control device 101 determines whether or not a request for stopping the virtual machine VM has been received (step S3001). Here, the control apparatus 101 waits to receive a request to stop the virtual machine VM (step S3001: No).

  When the control device 101 receives a request to stop the virtual machine VM (step S3001: Yes), the control device 101 stops the virtual machine VM (step S3002). Then, the control device 101 executes a virtual network removal process between the virtual machines VM (step S3003). A specific processing procedure of the virtual network removal processing between the virtual machines VM will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the control device 101 executes virtual network removal processing between the virtual machine VM / virtual router R (step S3004). The specific processing procedure of the virtual network removal processing between the virtual machine VM / virtual router R is the same as the processing procedure shown in FIG. 21 and will not be described (however, the “mobile machine” is the virtual machine to be stopped). Machine VM).

  Next, the control apparatus 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 to determine whether or not another virtual machine VM different from the virtual machine VM to be stopped exists in the stop-destination rack group rc ( Step S3005). Here, when another virtual machine VM exists (step S3005: Yes), the control apparatus 101 proceeds to step S3008.

  On the other hand, when there is no other virtual machine VM (step S3005: No), the control apparatus 101 performs a router cooperation network removal process (step S3006). The specific processing procedure of the router cooperation network removal processing is the same as the processing procedure shown in FIG.

  Next, the control device 101 stops the virtual router R of the stop-destination rack group rc (step S3007). Then, the control device 101 executes a route table setting process for setting the route table T in the virtual router R (step S3008), and ends a series of processes according to this flowchart. The specific processing procedure of the routing table setting process is the same as the processing procedure shown in FIG.

  As a result, the L2 virtual network and the L3 virtual network can be constructed or reconstructed along with the stop of the virtual machine VM, and the route table T can be set in each virtual router R.

<Virtual network removal processing procedure between virtual machines VM>
Next, a specific processing procedure of the virtual network removal processing between the virtual machines VM in step S3003 illustrated in FIG. 30 will be described. In the following description, the virtual machine VM to be stopped may be expressed as “removed machine”, and another virtual machine VM different from the removed machine may be expressed as “existing machine”.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a specific processing procedure of virtual network removal processing between virtual machines VM. In the flowchart of FIG. 31, first, the control device 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 to identify the physical network IP address p of the removed machine (step S3101).

  Next, the control apparatus 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500, selects an existing machine (step S3102), and specifies the physical network IP address pk of the existing machine (step S3103). Then, the control device 101 removes the tunnel between the physical network IP addresses p and pk (step S3104).

  Next, the control apparatus 101 refers to the virtual machine management table 500 and determines whether there is an unselected existing machine that has not been selected (step S3105). If there is an unselected existing machine (step S3105: YES), the control device 101 returns to step S3102 and selects an unselected existing machine.

  On the other hand, when there is no unselected existing machine (step S3105: No), the control apparatus 101 returns to the step that called the virtual network removal processing between the virtual machines VM. Thereby, the L2 virtual network between the virtual machines VM can be reconstructed with the stop of the virtual machine VM.

  As described above, according to the control device 101 according to the embodiment, when the virtual machine VM group is distributed in a plurality of rack groups rc, the virtual router R in which the same address is set in each rack group rc is activated. can do. Further, according to the control apparatus 101, it is possible to construct an L2 virtual network that connects the virtual machines VM of the virtual machine VM group and connects the virtual machine VM of each rack group rc and the virtual router R. Further, according to the control device 101, it is possible to construct an L3 virtual network that connects between the virtual routers R activated in each rack group rc. Then, according to the control device 101, the routing table T corresponding to the virtual router R activated in each rack group rc can be created and set in the virtual router R. As a result, the virtual machine VM can be moved with the change of the connection destination virtual router R without changing the settings of the IP address, route table, arp (address resolution protocol) table, etc. of the virtual machine VM provided to the user. It can be done easily.

  Also, according to the control device 101, when the virtual machine VM is moved between the rack groups rc, if the virtual router R is not activated in the destination rack group rc, the virtual router R is transferred to the destination rack group rc. Can be launched. Thereby, the virtual router R can be added as the virtual router R moves beyond the rack group rc.

  Further, according to the control device 101, when a new virtual machine VM is activated in the rack group rc, if the virtual router R is not activated in the rack group rc, the virtual router R is activated in the rack group rc. Can do. Thereby, the virtual router R can be added with the addition of the virtual router R to the virtual system S.

  Further, according to the control device 101, when the virtual machine VM in the rack group rc is stopped, if no other virtual machine VM is activated in the rack group rc, the virtual router R in the rack group rc can be stopped. it can. Thereby, the virtual router R to which the virtual machine VM is not connected can be removed along with the stop of the virtual machine VM.

  Further, according to the control device 101, for the virtual router R activated in each rack group rc, for each virtual machine VM of the virtual machine VM group, it is determined whether or not the virtual machine VM is in the same rack group as the virtual router R. can do. When they are in the same rack group, the control device 101 can associate the virtual network IP address of the L2 virtual network of the virtual router R with the virtual network IP address of the L2 virtual network of the virtual machine VM. On the other hand, if not in the same rack group, according to the control apparatus 101, the router cooperation network IP address of the L3 virtual network of the other virtual router R of the same rack group as the virtual machine VM is set to the virtual network VM virtual network VM. It can be associated with a network IP address. Thereby, the routing table T corresponding to the virtual router R activated in each rack group rc can be created. Also, each virtual machine VM can be controlled to transmit and receive packets to and from the virtual router R in the same rack group rc.

  For these reasons, the control apparatus 101 can easily move the virtual machine VM beyond the rack group rc for the convenience of the administrator such as redistribution of resources in the data center and maintenance of the physical machine PM. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the resource management and operation management of the data center. Also, since routing between virtual machines VM in the same rack group rc is performed by the virtual router R in the same rack group rc, failure and communication localization can be realized.

  The virtual router control method described in this embodiment can be realized by executing a program prepared in advance on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. The virtual router control program is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, an MO, and a DVD, and is executed by being read from the recording medium by the computer. The virtual router control program may be distributed via a network such as the Internet.
